U.S. unemployment is climbing, and may end up past 10%. We’re piling up debt madly, and haven’t even begun spending for things we really need. Warming of the planet is the “biggest global health threat of the 21st century”. The list goes on...
Yet here I sit, starting off the new year by adding to a blogosphere already bloated with ego-driven monuments to self-absorption, replete with endless, mundane details (so often personal in nature) and the insipid chatter of petty drama. Oh, don’t get me wrong; some manage to relate their personal and competitive lives in a way that is truly worthwhile and engaging. TriSaraTops, Brian Miner, and Tim Budic are a few who come immediately to mind.
So while the point of departure for many entries here may be personal experience, the purpose will be to relate it and other running-related information in a way that will be broadly useful. Although there may be temporary excursions into the realm of the inspirational, perhaps a runner profile now and then, the focus will most often be technical (but hopefully not too abstruse), the execution at times in-depth (but not overlong), and the frequency of entries irregular, only as there seems to be something worth discussing (often a novel concept in the blogosphere). More attention will likely be paid to the purpose and timing of workouts, along with reference to the underlying physiology, than precise workout details.
This, then, is my blob, er, I mean blog. No wait, that’s perfect – blob – like a worthless dollop of nothing, or the glop that terrified moviegoers of the late 1950s:
“Steven” McQueen saved the world from the first Blob that engulfed sivilization – who will do it this time around?
Heaven help me, I suppose it won’t be long until I’m Tweetering my every move to Farcebook.
